Overview

Engineering Design and Drafting Technology Diploma

Engineering Design and Drafting Technologists participate in multi-discipline engineering projects

Technologists in this dynamic role use industry-standard software to collaborate, design, model, draft, coordinate and document projects in many disciplines.

The Engineering Design & Drafting Technology program is a three-year diploma offered full-time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Moose Jaw Campus. You’ll take five academic semesters and three Co-operative Education work terms

You’ll be trained in:

  • computer aided drafting (CAD)
  • building information modelling (BIM)
  • geographic information systems (GIS)
  • cadastral surveying
  • civil, mechanical and structural design
  • computer programming
  • engineering materials
  • applied mechanics
  • fluid mechanics applications
  • project management

You’ll complete a major project using Building Information Modeling (BIM) Technology by integrating civil, and mechanical piping systems and structural design, applying the concepts of project management and an applied capstone research project.

Co-operative work terms are paid, so you'll earn while you learn.

Many of the co-op employers require both a valid Saskatchewan Driver's License and a clean Driver's Abstract. For international students, it can take up to 12 months to obtain a Driver's license.

Therefore, it is to your advantage to come with a Driver's License from your home country if possible. Some opportunities require a Criminal Record Check and/or drug and alcohol testing.
